The presidential mansion is about to undergo major renovations this month, from August 4 through 20. A White House spokesperson tells Town & Country that this is "a massive renovation" that is "more out of necessity than cosmetic."

While renovations typically take place in August when presidents traditionally take vacations, this one "is definitely a much larger overhaul," the White House spokesman said. "Many of the existing systems are in dire need of repair and replacement, which is why this renovation is so crucial. The GSA teams will be working around the clock to complete these projects; they're preparing to have people here 24/7."

In addition, in a move that is not typical of regular annual renovations, West Wing staffers who are not planning to travel with the president during this time are being relocated to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

This work, the spokesman said, was approved under the Obama administration. They are known as the "West Wing Phase Two Renovations" because they follow an initial renovation that was completed in 2012.

While the White House has not officially announced the president's vacation plans and the spokesman declined to confirm them to Town & Country on Wednesday afternoon, a temporary flight restriction (TFR) recently posted online by the FAA shows that there will be VIP activity in the Bedminster region from August 3 to 20, and similar TFRs have coincided with Trump's visits to the club in the past.
